By moving away from instrumental views of language, the book Discourse Analysis Applied English Language Teaching in Colombian Contexts: Theory and Methods situates the teaching and learning of English as a foreign language along a broader spectrum of socio-culturally elaborated discursive dynamics. To offer this complex and multifaceted perspective, it presents five discourse studies informed by diverse methodologies, and aims to provoke further and deeper considerations around the issue of English teaching and learning in Colombian contexts. Similarly, this work also exemplifies academic community building where different institutions, researchers and students have partnered to inquire into, understand, and share their findings regarding EFL teaching and learning in Colombia.
